Evidentally, when you have dementia, no matter how mild... you can do just about anything and blame the dementia. People will forgive.
I had a patient who supposedly had dementia but she did know she was in a hospital and could recall her bowel movements from earlier in the day. She was standing in the hallway waiting to be discharged. She pulled her pants down and took a big beefy dump right in the middle of the hall! Okay, this is wrong for several reasons. 1. she can walk. 2. if you're demented enough to not seek a toilet, you're too demented to have the presence of mind to pull your pants down.
My theory, she's just a grouchy cantankerous old woman who lives to give people hell... and poop.

That is funny! But in a very sick way - thank you for sharing.

Wow! That is nasty, but not as gross as the time a patient who was walking through the hall butt naked and poop smeared all over his face....BARF!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...and I thought I was the only one who did that.
